Wierd errors inlog when installing Knoppix 3.6 to HD
Hi. First. let me say this is not the first time I have installed Knoppix to HD. I was reading other posts which had similar error messages, but mine is spitting out a little different kinds. Noticeably these:
Code:
Can't remove /usr/share/applications/./Ethereal.desktop: Read-only file system, skipping file.
Can't remove /usr/share/applications/./EtherealAsRoot.desktop: Read-only file system, skipping file.

Can't remove /usr/share/applnk/./Settings/Peripherals/kxconfig.desktop: Read-only file system, skipping file.

Any clues as to what all this means? I am using a freshly formatted HD, that had a good HD installed version of Knoppix 3.4 on it before the format. I even went to the extent of reformatting the drive and installing using the knoppix-installer-latest-web script, but it gives the same errors.
If I need to post system specs, ect--lemme know!
(EDIT)
Oh yeah...I was using the linux26 "cheat code" if that matters.

Looks like lilo failed. It's quite easy to reinstall a boot loader. I did find this link about the very same problem and several possible solutions. If it's an unreadable partition table sometimes you just need to zero the drive and create a new partition table before it will behave properly (don't do this unless you're ready to lose everything on the drive!
Code:
cat /dev/zero > /dev/hda
wait...............a long time................
Try again w/ a fresh partition table.

Yes, unfourtunatly zeroing the drive is not an option as I have an "entrenched" windows partition on the same drive. I'll try installing Lilo chrooted into the drive.
I guess I need to get better at scripting and see if I can't contribute anything positive..instead of just repeating the same things other users have been saying.
Thanks for the ideas and input!!!!!
